Well i can’t argue Enco. You were present to assess the spirit of the comment.

Jake,

The Good Friday remark was not good natured humor. This old Christian asshole was proclaiming the store and it’s employees should work for free for him…in a store that has gone for years without a bonus because of looting.

And I never drag my feet on getting jerks like the examples you cited out the door and away from me.

Enco i am an iconoclast to a fault. Makes me sick seeing a big fat ugly cross in a hospital. Crosses adorning morons same. And lots of other similar reactions. But i would take that good friday comment as a good natured joke. If a Muslim came into the store and said you are killing me here waiting on you to ring me up. Oh but that might work out…[Read more]

Jake,

Enco,

It aint that bad. Living among theists who posit every form of mythology from the ahistorical scapegoating of Israel mythology to the good place/bad place for immortals decided by a guy with a white beard who is watching us every second along with the endless homilies and worthless religious prattle ya just roll with the punches.…

Unseen,

Which non-citizen is running for public office? (strawman?).

I point this out to further emphasize that non-Citizens don’t have the same legal privileges as Citizens.

Trump only conforms with law when he has no choice. Now, he’s the President.

I might also add to this that non-Citizens don’t have a right to hold public office, even Citizens are generally required to live in the jurisdiction where they hold public office, and only a Natural-Born U.S. Citizen can be President of the U.S.

Unseen,

I hate to point out something so obvious, but there is a basis for comparison. No due process. While some may actually be fugitives or prison escapees, in America, we don’t deport people based on looking Mexican, being Spanish speakers unable to speak English, having any kind of tattoos, wearing a baseball cap backward, anonymous a…

Fellow Unbelievers,

Something has been frosting me all day:

When I came into work earlier and rang up my first customer, after I finished, he jokingly said: “I don’t have to pay”, evidently a lame attempt to get a smile from me. The man next to him in line said: “Welp, if it’s Good Friday, it oughtta be free!”

I guees some people think Jesus…[Read more]

Duh. Trump is deporting people without actual judicial rulings.

The Neisei put into detention camps by FDR were natural-born U.S. Citizens, not immigrants.

As are some of the deportees.

And none of the Neisei were even a…

Reg,

If someone is here illegally or does something to break conditions of their visa, due process and rights clearly doesn’t mean a right to stay.

Unseen,

When someone enters America, they are subject to American law just like a citizen. If a tourist gets a speeding ticket, he has the due process right to show up in court and dispute it, just like a native citizen.

If the person is here illegally, the outcome of the ruling might not be to the person’s liking.

The key phrase in the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment is:

“…nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…”

Notice it says “any person,” not “any citizen.” That choice of language was intentional, and the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently interpreted it to mean that non…[Read more]

Tesla sales have plummeted by over 70% in countries like Germany and Spain. Some Tesla owners have resorted to placing stickers on their vehicles to distance themselves from Musk’s politics, with messages like “I bought this before Elon went crazy.” ​ His alignment with right-wing politics, including his role in Donald Trump’s administration, h…[Read more]
